Fixed the Twitter auto-poster, we're limited by our free account but that should be enough for the people that have it enabled -- We'll be keeping an eye on this for a bit.

[FriskyPaws @FriskyPawsNet]

Also released v1.12.2 which fixed an issue caused by some of our new role announcement code, we'll be making some final adjustments on that hopefully this week and officially releasing role announcements in v1.13.

[FriskyPaws @FriskyPawsNet]

Shipping v1.12.1 that fixes a problem with our discord bot that didn't follow the new intents system fully, preventing us from getting commands from servers.

[FriskyPaws @FriskyPawsNet]

@kitsune_g Should be good to go, got taken out by various storms yesterday, noticed our bot was offline but just haven't gotten back to it, should be good now!

[FriskyPaws @FriskyPawsNet]

@kitsune_g Should be fixed now! According to our stats we shouldn't be affected by this change yet (we're at 85 servers!), but whatever, changes applied.

We should add slash commands anyway which helps remedy this further.

[FriskyPaws @FriskyPawsNet]

@kitsune_g Sure thing, let us take a look!

[FriskyPaws @FriskyPawsNet]

@DraixScaledFox Yeah, we actually have it mostly done, just have to get some data migrations in place to handle current configurations moving to the new configurations.

[FriskyPaws @FriskyPawsNet]

@MaxDragonAction @PastelKoala_AU Will be working on hopefully getting both of these out next programming stream!

[FriskyPaws @FriskyPawsNet]

@PastelKoala_AU Currently it's just everyone/no ping, but that was something else we considered too, I'll toss it on the to-do list!

[FriskyPaws @FriskyPawsNet]

@PastelKoala_AU I'll see if we can't get it done sooner, just busy next few weeks.

[FriskyPaws @FriskyPawsNet]

@PastelKoala_AU Nope, but we've considered adding it but weren't sure if there was any interest, could maybe have it out in February (gives us something to do on our coding streams!)

[FriskyPaws @FriskyPawsNet]

Heads up: doesn't work with *some* URLs, will be fixing that.

[FriskyPaws @FriskyPawsNet]

FriskyPaws Discord Bot v1.11.0 is out, supporting YouTube for stream (using the YouTube channel URL To add) and reverse image search by using the 🔍emoji (must be enabled by the server admins).

cont.

[FriskyPaws @FriskyPawsNet]

YouTube's implementation was a bit of a pain so we'll be feeling out how it performs since we have to hit each channel to check statuses (all other streaming platforms we do these checks in bulk), we're worried about Google rate limiting us but we'll see...

[FriskyPaws @FriskyPawsNet]

On top of that, we've also adjusted our core system to enforce a 15s timeout across all APIs to prevent a "pileup" of checks.

[FriskyPaws @FriskyPawsNet]

We moved the status checker to no longer depend on Hangfire (since it would always report a job was queued and therefore healthy), we check against last successful run kept track of internally on our app. Annoyingly there isn't a way to get the last *successful* job.

[FriskyPaws @FriskyPawsNet]

@kitsune_g OK cool, made a change that fixes the problem, we'll make a few more adjustments over the weekend and will post a blog regarding the release and what we did to fix it.

Good news: pretty sure we nailed what the problem has been.

[FriskyPaws @FriskyPawsNet]

We were just informed with a bug with the Twitter notification system not working (likely caused by Picarto's changes), we're testing a patch right now.

[FriskyPaws @FriskyPawsNet]

@kitsune_g Actually have an alert from it, just didn't have a chance to poke at the code for it (doing so right now though) -- the https://t.co/Rirv2ylCx7 library disconnected and the recovery system is failing to reconnect, so investigating.
